This research analyzes the methodology and the results obtained in the Digital Inclusion Program of the community of Alto Paraopeba aiming the social inclusion of participants. The program had begun in 2008 at Campus Alto Paraopeba-Federal University of São João del Rei. It comprises a team of students, teachers and technicians from the University with support from Pro-Deanship at UFSJ. In 2010, it was contemplated by the Support Program for University Extension of MEC (Ministry of Education and Culture). This study evaluated a group of 153 people in the community who participated in the program to identify the motivating factors for learning and the parameters that indicate the level of knowledge attained and consequently knowledge generation and social inclusion. The program aims to promote digital inclusion of communities in the region to enable access to information technology to people who lack these resources and can´t reach individually. The program has UFSJ's partnership...
This article has the objective to evaluate the GESAC digital inclusion program in Brazil, from 2005 to 2007. One national survey and 2 operational databases were analyzed. The GESAC Program installed 1,500 telecenters and 2,400 TIC laboratories in public schools without any previous access to internet. From those, 800 telecenters had to be reinstalled due to lack of sustainability and usability. Approximately 800 were open to general public. From the total, 1,500 did not use all TIC resources. The same amount was able to transfer TIC knowledge to the communities. An increased trend was observed of the TIC usability up to their saturation, specially the internet access, as well as social actions and community projects developed by telecentersusers. The public schools facilitated training for their own teachers, monitors and civil society ́s multiplicators. Digital inclusion has been an important instrument for social inclusion in Brazil.
The study aims to discuss the importance of digital inclusion PROEJA students to transform the educational model so that the process of knowing and acting is stimulating, challenging and appropriate to the times. With the evolution of technology, society has lived continuously the impacts of these technological advances in their daily lives. Teaching cannot be oblivious to this reality; the teacher has the primary role of contributing to the dissemination of ICT'S in the school context. In this context, the study outlines the following objectives: Diagnosing the level of students and factors that hinder access to information technology students PROEJA. Adopts as a qualitative methodology, critical and reflective research participant. Thus, the principle performs a literature search and field, searching the literature documents that may help to answer the demands the questions raised in the problem of the subject under study. It is noticed that the technological development has profoundly modified the daily lives of people, and the school cannot be oblivious to this reality, it needs to adapt and introduce the student to live with these new technologies ICT, also within the school, so it can act as a participating citizen within and outside the educational context.
Innovation in Aging, 2017
The ongoing aging and mediatized society offers for older persons a broad range of opportunities and resources for successful aging. At the same time, becoming a digital citizen imposes economic and psychological costs and generates challenges in connection with lifelong learning. Therefore social inequalities between older persons are evident during the adoption and usage of new technologies such as the Internet and (mobile) information and communication technologies (ICT). Given this background, this symposium presents research results from Europe and Brazil, with focus on the following aspects: Seifert discloses cross-national and country-specific determinants on a micro-and macro-level for explaining digital gaps. In a next step, new concepts and possibilities for digital inclusion for older persons are presented. Based on the Initiative "Senior-Technology-Experts" in Germany, Doh explains the benefits of older experts acting as role models, and of training offerings combining formal with informal learning, and advantages of mobile ICT such as Tablet-PCs and Laptops. Leen-Thomele focuses on the benefits of mobile learning and special e-learning programs for older persons from Germany, Spain and France. Under an educational perspective Doll describes similar and specific strategies and concepts from Brazil. Jokisch presents his quantitative analysis of ICT trainings for older novices which emphasize the importance of selfefficacy and the sources of mastery and vicarious experiences (according to Bandura`s Social Learning Theory). In this context the well-established theory of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM, by Davis) will be discussed.

KEYWORDS Education, digital inclusion, indigenous, poverty The changes of the human capital that students of telesecundaria education in an indigenous municipality cataloged as in extreme poverty are analyzed. These changes were motivated by the implementation of an educational digital inclusion project operated by a group of Non-Governmental Organizations, which are called the "assistance cluster". An ethnographic methodology is developing in the municipality of Coatecas Altas that is located in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, performing fieldwork for 16 months between 2017-2018 with a sample of 24 students. The findings show a favorable impact on future school perception, caused by the knowledge acquired through the school digital inclusion project, it should be noted that at least 19 students prefer to continue studying attrition or child labor, reinforced interest in continuing their studies in subsequent stages such as high school or higher level. An evident increase in human capital is concluded, the positive changes in the future perceptions of the students, in addition to the fact that the work of the Non-Governmental Organizations is of utmost importance given the inability of the State to implement educational projects in this type of context. PALABRAS CLAVE Educación, inclusión digital, indígena, pobreza. Se analizan los cambios de capital humano que los estudiantes de educación telesecundaria en un municipio indígena catalogados como en extrema pobreza. Estos cambios fueron motivados por la implementación de un proyecto educativo de inclusión digital operado por un grupo de Organizaciones No Gubernamentales, que se llama el "grupo de asistencia". Se está desarrollando una metodología etnográfica en el municipio de Coatecas Altas, ubicado en el estado mexicano de Oaxaca, que realiza trabajo de campo durante 16 meses entre 2017-2018 con una muestra de 24 estudiantes. Los resultados muestran un impacto favorable en la percepción de la escuela en el futuro, debido al conocimiento adquirido a través del proyecto de inclusión digital de la escuela. Cabe señalar que al menos 19 estudiantes prefieren continuar estudiando el desgaste o el trabajo infantil, reforzado el interés en continuar sus estudios en etapas posteriores. tales como la escuela secundaria o nivel superior. Se concluye un aumento evidente en el capital humano, los cambios positivos en las percepciones futuras de los estudiantes, además del hecho de que el trabajo de las organizaciones no gubernamentales es de suma importancia dada la incapacidad del Estado para implementar proyectos educativos en este tipo de contexto
ICT FOR LEARNING AND INCLUSION IN LATIN AMERICA AND EUROPE CASE STUDY FROM COUNTRIES: BOLIVIA, BRAZIL, CUBA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, FINLAND, POLAND, TURKEY, URUGUAY, 2019
We are presenting a unique research report dedicated to the use of digital media in education and digital inclusion. It is unique because of the countries which contributed to this monograph showing the common challenges and differences present in the selected regions of Latin America and Europe. The monograph is the result of a systemic document analysis in: Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Finland, Poland, Turkey and Uruguay. It is the effect of participation of representatives of selected universities in the project “Smart Ecosystem for Learning and Inclusion” - ERANet17/ICT-0076 SELI, the aim of which is to: identify the challenges in the use of ICT as a tool for learning and inclusion; initiate broad stakeholder dialogue and consultation to screen potential educational, technical and business solutions for the challenges; implement knowledge transfer of tested and effective solutions rooted within the media pedagogy paradigm of opportunities and create an education platform with tools to support work with disadvantaged individuals and groups such as migrants, the elderly, the physically challenged, and the deaf and dumb. This book is a milestone for the analyses of the existing documentation, conducted by the representatives of nine academic centres. The results presented herein refer to the results of investigations into the key areas of digitally supported education and activities facilitating social inclusion and its subcategory – digital inclusion. Every chapter presents the general contexts of using the ICTs in education in the perspective of the development of the society saturated with the Internet and digital devices – the new media. Authors of the individual texts try to emphasise the meaning of digital literacy and data reflecting the level of digital gap, as well as the challenges faced by the selected European, Latin American and Caribbean (the Dominican Republic) countries. They also refer to the local, regional and governmental social policies, presenting the contexts – and good practices – in which preparation of teachers to use ICT, the process of reducing the digital divide and improving digital literacy take place. An important element of the work was to outline the issues relating to the educational innovation like: blockchain, digital storytelling, flipped learning, personalised learning or sharing pedagogy. The publication is an overview, however, the texts are the attempts to diagnose and determine the role of the certain actors responsible for the process of successful digital inclusion and implementation of innovative ICT-based solutions into the formal and informal education. The selected chapters also form a catalogue of good practices implemented in the certain countries. Such point of view may prove particularly useful for further research in the field of comparative pedagogy, media in education, adult education or social policies. We hope that this theoretical compilation will provide a valuable perspective for exchanging learning experiences through the transfer of the best solutions and presentation of the challenges faced by the countries participating in the SELI project.
This paper presents findings from research on adolescents in one public school of São Paulo. The aim of this study was to analyze the existing barriers concerning digital inclusion and understand how adolescents have been using the internet, with special focus on what they are learning in the virtual world. Methodology: qualitative research based on psychoanalysis and critical theory. Data collection was carried out by participative observation in computer classes over a period of seven months. A questionnaire was administered to 67 students, ages 13 to 16. Results: the analysis was focused on three issues: connection, capability and content. It was observed a serious lack of ICT resources in the school: 21 computers for 700 students, resulting in insufficient connection time. Although 76% of students said they had internet access at home, most of them were digitally illiterate. Content most accessed by adolescent included shooter games, social networking, funny videos and pornographic websites. Conclusion: The main barriers identified concerning digital inclusion were low ICT connection in the pedagogical context; precarious levels of basic education; and above all, adolescents’ virtual habits, largely rooted in trivialities. The vast majority of adolescents have not benefited from the internet in terms of learning, knowledge expansion or development of computer skills due to conventional usage practices encouraged by the culture industry. This is most prevalent in the area of gaming. Adolescents’ activities in cyberspace were characterized by the fulfillment of voyeuristic, exhibitionist, and sadomasochist satisfactions which complicate the sublimation process and relevant symbolic exchanges.
The paper focuses on the description of the progress of a cooperative ICT project for inclusion into the Information and Knowledge Society. This project is the result of the efforts of two universities as distant as the National University of Southern Patagonia and the University of the Balearic Islands, to empower Southern Patagonia communities to access quality education using ICT and take part in social and educational activities related to the empowerment through ICTs. The Cyber-Educatives’ and its facilitators’ role are emphasized as the main elements of the project to fulfil the objectives posed.
This article aims ats evaluating the results of the process of digital inclusion among the supposedly included users of digital inclusion points, promoted by programs and projects of the Government and its partners, after having gone through qualification processes, workshops and other forms of mediation. The evaluation has as base the identification of variables that better explain the inclusion process and a multivariete analysis of these variables. Thus, factors had been identified that would allow to detect factors that have an impact in the inclusion process, such as the context of the user, his or her demographic profile, the social conditions, the use of and access to information and comunication technologies-ICTs, but also the evaluation, use and search of information by the user. An example is the search and employment of the information for the welfare of the community. In this study changes were detected to the degree in which explanations of variable or indicators are considered for the user to feel included, such as: sex, color/race, access to broadband Internet, infrastructure, available cellular telephone, available digital information in the Internet and social nets and a computer at home. The multivariate analysis selected that the determining factors of digital inclusion are in constant change, as the ownership of cell phone, a fixed telephone and computer at home. It was evidenced that the ones that say they are digitally included were people who believe that Internet changed their lives, know and use the Internet, participate in relationship sites, have the habit of reading the press and news in the WEB. In the study, the issues of schooling and range of income and geographic region continue to determine whether users feel included. Because of the universalization of cellular phones, this represents little to the included ones, which is different from having a computer at home. These results must be seen to the light of the research universe, of people of a disfavoured class, living in places with little telecommunications infrastructure, where the satellite is the most viable means to provide broadband Internet. 14 Aplicación e indicadores de inclusión social y sistema métrico de evaluación entre usuarios incluidos digitalmente que pertenecen a comunidades en estado de vulnerabilidad en Brasil Resumen: Impacto de los talleres, formación y mediación de los multiplicadores (formadores de formadores) y las sesiones con participantes en los programas de inclusión digital en Brasil: una evaluación desde un análisis multivariable. Este artículo tiene por objeto evaluar los resultados del proceso de inclusión digital de los usuarios supuestamente incluidos en los puntos de la inclusión digital, promovida por los programas y proyectos del Gobierno brasileño y sus socios, después de haber pasado por procesos de capacitación, talleres y otras formas de mediación. La evaluación toma como base la identificación de las variables que mejor explican el proceso de inclusión y un análisis multivariado de estas variables. Los resultados obtenidos deben ser vistos a la luz del universo de investigación, de las personas de una clase desfavorecida, que viven en lugares con poca infraestructura de telecomunicaciones, donde el satélite es el medio más viable para ofrecer Internet de banda ancha.
En general el término psicoterapia se ha aplicado más en el ámbito de la orientación dinámica (psicoanálisis, terapia humanista,..) mientras que "psicología clínica" lo han aplicado los psicólogos cognitivo conductuales a su labor terapéutica. Sin embargo desde algunos puntos de vista se ha considerado a la psicoterapia como una parte de la psicología clínica. Desde algunas perspectivas la psicoterapia es un espacio de reflexión con un profesional en el que se afrontan los problemas que en esta vida nos asaltan. Desde aquí es desde donde las terapias de insight han afrontado su labor. Se supone que el paciente acude al terapeuta para reflexionar juntos y averiguar que es lo que ocurre, que muchas veces es inconsciente, es decir, está fuera de nuestra conciencia. Estas terapias suponen que el conocimiento salva y que averiguando aquello que hemos olvidado o de lo que no somos conscientes se soluciona el problema. Pero ya Freud afirmaba que era preciso revivir el trauma en las sesiones para poder resolverlo. Desde una perspectiva cognitivo conductual se sabe que para resolver un problema hay que modificar determinadas conductas, y que si no se hace el problema no se soluciona. Cuando se habla de conductas se hace en un sentido amplio, considerando conductas los pensamientos, los sentimientos y las emociones. Por eso la psicoterapia cognitivo conductual tiene dos partes, por una es una reflexión conjunta sobre el problema. Es la responsabilidad del paciente contribuir plenamente a la definición del problema, que no es más que aquello que le preocupa y le lleva a la consulta. Una vez establecida la visión que el paciente tiene de su problema, bajo la guía del terapeuta, se realiza el análisis funcional del problema, enunciándolo en términos operativos y modificables. Se fijan así los objetivos de la terapia y comienza el tratamiento, que tienen que se consensuados entre el paciente y el terapeuta y pueden ir variando a lo largo de la terapia, de acuerdo a como se va avanzando y comprendiendo lo que ocurre. El tratamiento consiste en el establecimiento de un programa para modificar las conductas, pensamientos y sentimientos que son relevantes en el mantenimiento del problema. La psicoterapia consiste entonces en acompañar al paciente en el camino que tiene que hacer para llevar a cabo el programa. Con esta visión se puede decir que la terapia cognitivo conductual es directiva en el cumplimiento del programa, pero siempre adaptándose a las capacidades y limitaciones del paciente; pero es una terapia no directiva a la hora de fijar el problema, puesto que es el paciente quien lo plantea y se acepta su planteamiento. Las terapias no sirven para todo, solamente si existe un tratamiento para el problema es cuando se puede afrontar. Cuando el problema no es resoluble, se tiene que entrar en otra forma de afrontamiento: LA ACEPTACIÓN. La terapia de aceptación y compromiso enseña como poder llevar a cabo este proceso sin que interfieran nuestros pensamientos, sensaciones, sentimientos y emociones. Pero la eficacia de la terapia cognitivo conductual depende de que se conozcan cuales son las conductas problema y las leyes que las rigen. Desde una perspectiva cognitivo − conductual se han dado importantes avances en los tratamientos por medio de la identificación y modificación de conductas nucleares; que son las que tienen un gran impacto en el comportamiento humano en general. Por ejemplo, el manejo de la ansiedad (Wolpe, 1975; Marks, 1974) ha permitido solucionar de manera efectiva fobias, obsesiones, y demás trastornos asociados a ella. Las conductas cognitivas, como los pensamientos automáticos (Beck, 1979) o las ideas irracionales de Ellis han sido otro gran avance de la terapia, definiendo tratamientos de elección para la depresión, avances en el manejo de la ansiedad y abre esperanzas para los trastornos de personalidad (Beck et al, 1985). En la modificación de los esquemas más nucleares, los aprendidos en las relaciones con nuestros padres, juega un papel fundamental la relación terapéutica larga y profunda que permite cambios basados
Integrity, in terms of data and network security, is the assurance that information can only be accessed or modified by those authorized to do so. Measures taken to ensure integrity include controlling the physical environment of networked terminals and servers, restricting access to data, and maintaining rigorous authentication practices. Data integrity can also be threatened by environmental hazards, such as heat, dust, and electrical surges.
